less than 5 hours ago my great dad fell asleep the last time :( still in a bit of a shock and sad that i will not see him again...i promised myself that once he is here no more, i will somehow make my move out of this organisation who kept us all captive believing in a fantasy of an everlasting life :( i am in a tricky situation, since raised as jw, still in, married to an active jw, and pretty sure that all in my social and family circle will turn their backs on me if i finally say goodbye to a fairytail ;(.

I am sorry for your loss and the added stress this religion imposes. I hope you find peace throughout your journey.

Today is my first "Shunniversary"

i just wanted to thank this community for being there during my most difficult period of life.

even if it wasn't a direct interaction, i was reading, and i've taken away a lot over the past year plus.

on september 2 of last year the local congregation announced that my wife and i were no longer jehovah's witnesses because we chose to disassociate.

Congrats! It just keeps getting better. I have been out for more than 15 years and life is great. I love the freedom to believe as I wish, and change my mind if I find new evidence. 🍻 enjoy your freedom!

How are you with your temper?

by The Rebel in

let's be honest everyone has their limits, their breaking point.

personally i try to remain placid when provoked, but on occasion i can loose it.

the last time i lost it was when chelsea came to watford and some chelsea supporters had some how got tickets and were sitting in the home end.

I am in much better control of my emotions than I was as a witness. I very rarely lose my temper, because it's not worth it. Once in a while, eeehhhh, I'm human. :-)

by Chook in

I was out in service with an older pioneer sister and a teenage aux pioneer (we were aux pioneering on summer break). I wasn't feeling well and told them I wanted to go back to my car. They didn't want to do that because then the young brother couldn't be alone with the older sister, so everyone would have to quit. We came away from a door I got almost to the car and threw up all over the lawn. They still didn't want to quit, because you know you have to get your hours, so she drove to the store and got me a coke to settle my stomach.

Elders and Attendants sing, clap and turn backs on Street Preacher after Duluth RC.

by ToesUp in

very strange behavior by the attendants and elders after the duluth, ga, rc.

on the first link the attendants start to exit the arena, then line up and turn their backs on the street preachers.

(around the 6:00 mark).. elders and attendants after duluth rc.

Ignore the protesters - the JWs look just as crazy. I went to a concert where the westboro baptist crazies were protesting. People mainly ignored them some took selfies in front of them, lol.

"Inactive" non Attenders, how much power do the JW's have over YOU ?

by Phizzy in

i was thinking about this because of the constant reminders we get in posts that we inactive non attenders have to be careful what we say to jw's, and what we do that they may learn about etc, if we don't wish to be before a j.c. the power they have is limited by what we give them.

now, i do not wish to be declared df'd of da'd, it would kill my old mum i think.. but i refuse to live my life looking over my shoulder, that, in my opinion, is giving them too much power.. i openly vote, i openly donate blood, i enjoy the odd cigar etc etc.. how much power do you allow them to have over you ?.

just fine

I do what I want, Christmas, Birthdays, vote, help in community programs. My parents have questioned it when I made the paper for my work in a Christmas charity, I just said it wasn't open for discussion. The only thing I don't do right now is openly criticize the cult. Once my parents are gone all bets are off.

In love with a JW girl

by rastapau in

need advise.

i was in a relation with a jw girl for almost three years(im am not jw) and we are so inlove with each other until someone saw us from her congregation and she was disfellowed and that where the oddness happened.

her family and friends are not talking to her anymore, she wants me to stop seeing and talking to her anymore not until i became a baptized jw.

Walk away, nothing good can come of this. It will be Jehovah's Witness endorsed emotional blackmail for the rest of your life. It's not worth it, there are billions of people on earth, you will find someone else.
